While he’s still on his massive world tour, Alex Warren is about to hit the next note: The “Finding Family on the Road” tour isn’t even over, and the next date is already marked in bold on the musician’s calendar. Warren is currently traveling through North America before heading to New Zealand and Australia in August. Right in the middle: the release of his new album “Wildchild” and his new single “Passenger”.
From first place straight into the next project
Just last year, his debut album “You’ll Be Alright, Kid” was released in its entirety and charted at number five on the US Billboard charts and number one in the UK. Now Warren announces “Wildchild”. The new album is scheduled to be released on August 28th and is already available for pre-order. Two old acquaintances can be found on the record: “Fever Dream” and “Fine Place to Die”, which have already been released as singles, and will also be featured.
From skate videos to music stardom
Alex Warren originally became known through his YouTube channel, where he started his career with skateboarding videos and video diaries. At the age of 17, the Californian went through a difficult time: after an argument with his mother, he was temporarily homeless and slept in his friends’ cars. However, this change did not stop the determined talent. He later co-founded the Hype House community on TikTok, further expanding his fan base.
It wasn’t until 2021 that Warren began processing and publishing personal experiences in music. Thanks to his wide reach online, his songs quickly found listeners. He finally achieved his big breakthrough and top worldwide rankings with his single “Ordinary”, which was released in 2025.
“Passenger”: Homesick on tour?
The third single from “Wildchild” is “Passenger” . The song accompanied the album announcement and joins “Fever Dream” in the feel-good tracks of the work. The sound is upbeat and energetic. Thematically, “Passenger” revolves around the feeling of being banished to the passenger seat and losing control of your own steering wheel: “How do I drive from the Passenger side?”
The verses, meanwhile, describe the sincere attempt to combine relationships and careers – being constantly on the move and missing home: “But I miss the way the night sounds back on the coast… Yeah, I miss a lot of things, but I miss you the most.” A feeling that the busy singer certainly feels connected to.
